"Swamp Girl" lyrics

(Down till the deep, where your sleep fills with all the dream)

Red rain flies to the marshes, and the turtle sun their shells
Where the water rat goes swimming, is where my swamp girl dwells
When the sunlight never wanders, and the moonlit never falls
Where the waters black, with the devil's track, that's where my swamp girl calls

What did she say, the girl with the golden hair, and they can follow her down there
How can she look when she took me by my hand
And now her hair would flow under water, and the gold will no longer shine
It will spread like the flame under water, while she makes a mysterious sigh
I have seen that sigh, before

Her eyes sting like a whipper will, her eyes ain't like a fawn
Her eyes are like the diamondback, stitching in the dawn

Oh, won't you go with the girl with the golden hair down there where her work is done
But you erase the night and turn your back on the sun
She'll say it's better there in the water, where it's cool and calm as the rain
She will call you to come into the water, to a world made of emerald pain
I have heard that call (before) before

I hear it when I'm weary, I hear it when I'm ill
I hear it when the joys of life start to lose their thrill

My swamp girl lives inside of me, she leaves me pale and worn
She dares me and tears me like paper dolls adore
When she comes to your feet when your sleep is without a dream...
